3.3 Recording Modes

• Dual-Camera Recording: The F7N Elite records simultaneously in 4K (front) and 1080P (rear), capturing a wide 170° field of view for comprehensive coverage.
• Loop Recording: This feature ensures continuous recording by automatically overwriting the oldest unlocked footage when the memory card is full. You can set loop recording intervals to 1, 3, or 5 minutes.
• G-Sensor: The built-in G-sensor detects sudden impacts or collisions. When an event is detected, the current video segment is automatically locked and saved to prevent it from being overwritten by loop recording, serving as crucial evidence.
• 24H Parking Mode (Requires Hardwire Kit): For continuous vehicle security surveillance, the 24H Parking Mode offers two options:
  • Collision Detection: When an unexpected collision occurs while parked, the G-sensor triggers automatic recording.
  • Time-Lapse: This mode condenses hours of footage into short, efficient clips, saving storage space and facilitating rapid review of events.

  Note: The 24H Parking Mode requires an additional hardwire kit (ASIN: B09WCTZ3Y8) for continuous power supply.
